what if the contact has more than one phone number?

Very helpful!

That was very usefull thanks.

In case anyone needs to get multiple numbers from same contact:

`
private void retrieveContactNumbers() {

    String contactNumber = null;
    // getting contacts ID
    Cursor cursorID = getActivity().getContentResolver().query(mContactUri,
            new String[]{ContactsContract.Contacts._ID},
            null, null, null);

    if (cursorID.moveToFirst()) {
        contactID = cursorID.getString(cursorID.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));
    }

    cursorID.close();

    // Using the contact ID now we will get contact phone number
    Cursor cursorPhone = getActivity().getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI,
            new String[]{ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER},

            ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID + " = ? AND " +
                    ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE_HOME +
                    ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE_MOBILE +
                    ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE_FAX_WORK +

I have looked at this code for a long time trying to see where uriContact gets assigned, and I can't find it, can someone please point me to the right direction as to what exactly am missing

Am basically asking what is the value of Uri uriContact, when it is used in the query statement as I cannot find the instance it is getting assigned to a value, tho has been used. Thank you

I did factory reset of my Lenova K6 power powered by Android ver.6.0.1 without saving my contacts about 1100nos.
I need to recover them.Is it possible?If so pls help me.

Thanks!

Hi, can anyone help on why this keeps crashing when I try to retrieve the phone number of a contact please? I've tried multiple ways but it just doesn't seem to work. Not sure if the problem is in the declaration of the cursor?

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

private static final int REQUEST_CODE_PICK_CONTACTS = 1;
private Uri uriContact;
private String contactID;     // contacts unique ID

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}

public void onClickSelectContact(View btnSelectContact) {
    startActivityForResult(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI), REQUEST_CODE_PICK_CONTACTS);
    Log.d("PROGRESSCHECK", "starting ActivityForResult");
}

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);

    if (requestCode == REQUEST_CODE_PICK_CONTACTS && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
        Log.d("PROGRESSCHECK", "Response: " + data.toString());
        uriContact = data.getData();

        retrieveContactNumber();
    }
}

private void retrieveContactNumber() {

    String contactNumber;
    String contactEmail = null;

    // getting contacts ID
    Cursor cursorID = getContentResolver().query(uriContact,
            new String[]{ContactsContract.Contacts._ID},
            null, null, null);

    if (cursorID.moveToFirst()) {
        contactID = cursorID.getString(cursorID.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));
    }

    cursorID.close();
    Log.d("PROGRESSCHECK", "Contact ID: " + contactID);

    Cursor cursorPhone = getContentResolver().query(uriContact, null, null, null, null);

    while (cursorPhone.moveToNext()) {
        Integer hasPhoneNumber = null;
        hasPhoneNumber = Integer.parseInt(cursorPhone.getString(cursorPhone.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER)));
        Log.d("PROGRESSCHECK", "hasPhoneNumber = " + hasPhoneNumber);

        if (hasPhoneNumber > 0){
            String DisplayName = cursorPhone.getString(cursorPhone.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME));
            Log.d("PROGRESSCHECK", "Display Name = " + DisplayName);
            
            contactNumber = cursorPhone.getString(cursorPhone.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));
            Log.d("PROGRESSCHECK", "contactNumber = " + contactNumber);
        } else{
            Log.d("PROGRESSCHECK", "No Phone number");
        }
    }

    cursorPhone.close();

}

hello,
Your code is very useful and I've used it
but the main problem in this ,it doesnt take permission so please add permission code
` public void onClickSelectContact(View btnSelectContact) {

     if(!hasPhoneContactsPermission(Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS))

       }else {
          startActivityForResult(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI), REQUEST_CODE_PICK_CONTACTS);
      }
}

// Check whether user has phone contacts manipulation permission or not.
private boolean hasPhoneContactsPermission(String permission) {
/*boolean ret = false;

}

// Request a runtime permission to app user.
private void requestPermission(String permission) {
    String requestPermissionArray[] = {permission};
    ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, requestPermissionArray, 1);
